Technical Inspections

You will be contacted about the need for a technical scoping inspection of your home. Technical scoping inspections are undertaken by an independent building consultant every 3-4 years.

Property Assessment Surveys

You may be contacted about the need for a Property Assessment Survey (PAS) on your home. A PAS is a detailed inspection of the property that captures information about its safety and physical condition to inform and prioritise our ongoing maintenance program.

These inspections are carried out by Housing NSW every three years and apply to all properties except those Bridge Housing leases from the private market that are maintained by the landlord. Typically, a PAS reports on:

current condition of the property

location of asset amenities, such as services, schools and shops

safety and structural integrity issues

tenancy risks such as hoarding, damage or illegal structures

environmental attributes such as water tanks and solar hot water systems.

Bridge Housing will notify you when your property is due for a PAS. Property inspections generally take about an hour to complete. All PAS inspectors must carry identification, which they should provide before entering your property.
